This week we talked about fairy tales and heard some different versions of the stories. It was fun to talk about what was the same as what we are used to and what was different in each of the new story versions.
On Monday, we read the Three Billy Goats Gruff and we made a goat paper bag puppet. We also read Miss Smith's Incredible Storybook, where the storybook characters came to life!
Tuesday we read Cinderella and then a funny, opposite version called Big Foot Cinderrrrrella. We got to choose which shoe we wanted to make...a glass slipper or a bark clog. We used colored pencils and added stickers or popsicles sticks to our shoes.
Wednesday was a great weather day and we hope you got to enjoy it on your day off!
Little Red Riding Hood was our focus on Thursday. We enjoyed the Little Critter version of Little Red Riding Hood, followed by a darker, Chinese version of the story called LonPoPo. We used markers to color a character from the Red Riding Hood Story and got the choice of making it into a headband or mask to reenact the story.
Friday we wrapped up our week of silly fairy tales with Big Bad Wolf is Good and Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book. Mrs. Crandall's family loves the Big Bad Book and other books by Lauren Child...check them out at the library! We worked on another page for our person book and finished up our Mother's Day projects.
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms! We hope you are treated like royalty this weekend!!
